Yes, the TM Flow device is covered by Medicare and most private pay carriers. Specific CPT codes, such as 95921 for cardiovagal innervation and 93923 for ankle-brachial pressure index, ensure that the diagnostics are easy to bill. Coverage and reimbursements may vary depending on the Medicare locality, but the comprehensive diagnostics offered by the TM Flow device are widely recognized and supported by insurance providers.
Autonomic nervous system testing is crucial for diabetes and cardiovascular patients because it helps in the early detection of autonomic neuropathy, which is a common complication in these conditions. Early detection through ANS testing allows for timely intervention and management, reducing the risk of further complications. The American Diabetes Association recommends ANS testing as a standard of care for patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, highlighting its importance in effective diabetes management.
The TM Flow device is an advanced, non-invasive diagnostic tool designed to perform a series of tests that aid in the identification and early detection of autonomic nervous system (ANS) and arterial dysfunctions. It provides quantitative assessments of the ANS, helping to distinguish between early and late stages of autonomic neuropathy. The TM Flow device is particularly valuable for cardiovascular and diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN) testing, making it an essential tool in diabetes management and cardiovascular assessments.

About TM Flow
TM Flow is a non-invasive test that can be used to diagnose neuropathy. The TM Flow diagnostic tool measures the flow of water through your small intestine, which is commonly referred to as small bowel motility (SBM). SBM is considered one of many factors contributing to gut health and it has been shown that this measurement correlates with other indicators of intestinal health such as inflammatory markers and intestinal permeability (leaky gut).
TM Flow also measures the speed at which food moves through your digestive tract, known as gastric emptying time (GET), which is an important indicator for managing diabetes and obesity.
In addition to being a diagnostic tool for determining if you have neuropathy or another condition affecting nerve function, TM Flow also serves as a pain management tool because it helps determine if there are any abnormalities in how your nerves respond after eating certain foods or when exposed to certain stimuli like stress or exercise.

If they are not able to pay their portion in full at this time, we will file claims on their behalf and bill any remaining balance over 30 days from the date of service.

About Sudomotor Testing
Sudomotor testing is a non-invasive diagnostic test that measures the function of the autonomic nervous system. This test can be used to diagnose:
- Diabetes
- Neuropathy (nerve damage)
Sudomotor testing may also be called sudomotor axon reflex, or sweat gland response testing.
Diabetic Neuropathy and Annual Wellness Visits
The nerve damage associated with diabetic neuropathy can be managed and even reversed. Annual wellness visits are a great time to talk about the condition, as well as other health concerns you may have.
What is diabetic neuropathy?
Diabetic Neuropathy (also known as “diabetic foot” or “neuropathic foot”) occurs when your nerves are damaged by high glucose levels in your blood (blood sugar). This damage can lead to pain, numbness or loss of feeling, burning sensations and other symptoms such as:
- Pain in the feet or legs;
- Burning sensation on the soles of your feet;
- Tingling or numbness in your toes;
